Haven't been able to read alot of manga till now but I'm glad I'm caught up!
One Piece :
I didn't want to beleive it, but she done did it. Dang Oda. Anyway if you were gonna kill Mom you should have turned into a castle from the beginning. Also if those missles blew up due to noise, why are you suprised a mirror is going to shatter (well to be fair I'd risk it too, haha). The Mighty Morphing Vinsmoke Rangers' ships better form a megazaord or something because they certainly could use it (they are still terrible though). This looks bad for them now that Big Mom woke up.
Boku No Hero:
Easily one of my favorite chapters now. Suneaters performance was outstanding. It was non stop fighting, a great pace in diaologue, commiting to one fight rather than transitioning to the chase, and the best part? The idea of friendship in this chapter. This is why I keep saying that this story is very similar to others in concepts, but is so very different. The power of friendship was there for the villains. If this were another series, Suneater would have become broken through his own power of friendship. Suneater certainly relied on friendship, but what he channelled was the knowledge of friendship rather than the strength of it. I just love this series so much.
The Promised Neverland:
They finally escaped the demon tree, but are were chased by a demon dog. Their great improvement managed to help them escape with Ray drawing them away, but then another demon lopped the dog demon head off. Also dog demons can talk... Like, they can talk... I've been trying process this for hours for some reason. This bothers me almost more than anything in the series. Anyway because of Samurai Demon and Talking Dog Demon, Ray has to seperate, which I assumed would really test Emma. However, now we have a potential danger on our hands. I always had this rule if a stranger is trying to lure children somewhere, the kids should not go. That being said, Samurai and Talking Dog demons makes this hard to decide. I really wonder what the direction of the series is going to be like going foward.
Hungry Marie:
They're getting into the story faster than I anticipated. With this author, he usually has a nice chunk of the first arc of pure gag filler. The characters in series, I really can't shake off I'm in an alternate universe reading this. But so far I am enjoying this.

Looks like I can use the rich text editor again.
Anyway, I'm finding Uratarou to be really interesting.
It's set in ancient Japan and is about a dying girl who loves life and an immortal guy who wants to die. Chiyo is on a quest to find the secret of immortality and Uratarou is on her list of possible sources. Unfortunately, though he's immortal, he has no idea why can't die and thus cannot give her what she seeks. When he learns that she might somehow be connected to his unknown origins, he gives in to her plea to join her quest when she promises to find a way to kill him.
It also seems that she is someone whose death is considered very important and that some very evil and powerful forces are turning their attention in her direction.
It's quite bloody and the art-style is interesting. Lots of historical people are represented as powerful and dangerous figures.

It's funny. I looked at the first 3 sentences, then I looked at the first panel with girl on the guy's shoulder and thought that's what you were referring to. I decided that didn't make sense and scrolled down to see the next panel XD. Anyway, I finally got around to reading the first 5 chapters and so far I am loving it. The artsyle is very great mix of part cutesy, part bold, and feels like remade version of fuedal Japan's art. There's also great contrast to its artstlye. I don't want to read too far so I'll try to read a chapter weekly, but I really the dynamics of the story and its interpretation of folkore so far.
